I am working on a service to alert people of new #ClinicalTrials. Would you or someone you know be interested? Can I ask you/them a few questions? Takes 2 minutes, tops.

It's not just a question of bandwidth. In human terms, bandwidth is the ability to handle all you need to do. Just because we may have enough bandwidth to handle the pressure doesn't mean we also have the required voltage.

what are people using for self-hosted #microblogging? I want to try the #POSSE way of publishing here and on Blue Sky but can’t find a good CMS. My #staticsite runs #Hugo and takes at least 60s to build. So that’s not an option.
